Harpreet's family planned a picnic over the weekend. Her mother and father packed different food items to take along. The following is the list of fruits they carried. Watermelon – 3 kg, Pineapple – 1 kg 750 g, Apples – 1 kg 250 g, Mangoes – 2 kg. Among the fruits they carried, which one has the (a) highest weight?
Watermelon has the highest weight at 3 kg, which is more than Pineapple (1 kg 750 g), Apples (1 kg 250 g), and Mangoes (2 kg).
Explanation
The chapter discusses comparing weights. To find the highest weight among the fruits, compare all values: Watermelon = 3 kg = 3,000 g, Pineapple = 1 kg 750 g = 1,750 g, Apples = 1 kg 250 g = 1,250 g, Mangoes = 2 kg = 2,000 g. Watermelon at 3 kg is the heaviest.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Convert all weights to the same unit (grams): Watermelon = 3,000 g, Pineapple = 1,750 g, Apples = 1,250 g, Mangoes = 2,000 g
Step 2: Compare: 3,000 > 2,000 > 1,750 > 1,250
Step 3: Watermelon has the highest weight at 3 kg
